i brought a robe to cover my butt when i walked, gas x strips cuz i heard they really help with gas, house shoes. i wore home the same clothes i wore up there. i also brought my phone charger and an extra pair of clothes just in case i needed them, which i did not. the hospital provided body wash and Shampoo when i was able to shower.

I brought my favorite soft blanket from home. I was glad that I brought slippers for walks in the hall. Comfy pants for the car ride home, my incisions were at my normal pants waistline.

At home, I had all my Protein shakes that I would need for the next two weeks. I Water bottle that measured how much I was drinking. Good luck!

Congrats your surgery date! You will be great. I just had my sleeve done on 1/21. Here are a few things I would suggest bringing.

  • Comfortable clothes. I wore comfy clothes, but also brought some to wear home. I've heard of many people just wearing home the clothes they came in. Up to you!
  • Phone/phone charger
  • Robe. You will be asked to get up and walk around, so you may want this to cover yourself up. The hospital provided one for me, but it was a bit small.
  • Slippers for when you walk the halls
  • Something that will bring you comfort. Totally optional, but my husband gave me a stuffed animal and I kept it with me when I stayed overnight.

Best of luck to you!!
